The day the rain spawned frogs

BY DAMIAN WHITWORTH
FORECASTERS failed to predict one element of the
weather yesterday: in Croydon, it rained frogs.

The strange event was included during a report by Suzanne
Charlton at the BBC Weather Centre, after a distraught
woman rang the Meteorological Office at Bracknell at
breakfast time to say that dead frogs were falling from the
sky and covering her garden and the immediate
neighbourhood.

Staff at the inquiry desk had thought the call was a hoax
until the woman's vehemence made them take her
seriously.
